Why is God’s Law Necessary?

The Law of God is necessary today for numerous reasons. Yes, that’s right, God’s Law is necessary today. Why? One of the most basic reasons is found in Romans 7:7.

“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin,
but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not covet.”

This verse shows that God’s Law is necessary to identify and expose sin. Without God’s Law, there can be no standard of right and wrong. We need the standard of righteousness in order to identify unrighteousness.

Just think – inches cannot be measured without a standard such as a ruler. Likewise, sin cannot be measured without God’s Law. Law is necessary to expose sin.
